You are true and soften the ground that I’m treading

And I only see your love

For you are love,

O how you love

And you set me on fire

I am because you are

I’m consumed in you, your all consuming fire

Never would I dream of escaping your embrace

You wrap me in your warmth and I’m set ablaze

You call my name and I come running

Only to get lost in you,

I only want to get lost in you

Lost only in you

And wander helplessly in awe

Forever and always I want to seek your face

And seek your love

I can never get enough,

And yet your love is always enough

You are always enough,

and give me more than I deserve.

You’ve captured me, never let me lose your grip

And in those times I think I’ve slipped

You catch my fall and lay me at your feet,

And I see you so clearly,

You’ve been there all along

You’re ever so faithful

You are the truth and the light

You chase away the darkness that plagues my soul

And destroys the sickness that is within

And give me back myself

A self that was formed from you

And gives me life

I am only alive in you

Only alive when I am engaged in your truth

And the truth screams

So loudly I cannot keep it contained.

Your eyes are hazed behind a glaze of red film,

laid upon me from somewhere I’ve never been.

Moments aren’t meant to be spent like this,

you aren’t meant to be dying like this.

I breathe in your smoke that’s passed through your lungs;

precious air lost but its nothing if it gets me closer to you.

This one forgetful moment not forgotten,

lost in time,

but its mine.

I have this picture captured in my mind,

i close my eyes and I see, this photograph’s proof.

You drown yourself in your bottle of misery

each time you reach for another kiss from your poison,

moments aren’t meant to be spent like this,

you aren’t meant to be dying like this.

I can taste the smell of your warm toxic breath,

lost all inhibitions, but its nothing if it gets me closer to you.
